Rivers Violence Continues as Gunshots Are Reported in Government House

Culled from Premiumtimes reports from Rivers State indicate
that sporadic gunshots are being
fired in front of the government
house in Port Harcourt, the state
capital.

Media reports indicate that the
shots are being fired by thugs
backed up by police officers.

Witnesses also report that
armoured tanks have been
deployed to the state assembly
complex, venue of Tuesday’s
violence where about five of the
32 state lawmakers tried to
impeach the speaker.

Both Governor Rotimi Amaechi and
the Rivers Commissioner for
Information, Ibim Semenitari, could
not be reached for comments.
They did not answer or return calls
to their mobile telephones.
